Helping Your Student in Distress

You may be one of the first individuals to notice that something is wrong or that a student is distressed.  Although emotional distress may be expected during stressful times throughout the semester, you may notice that your student is acting out of character or in ways that are inconsistent with their previous behavior.  You may be a resource in times of trouble, and your expression of interest and concern may be critical in helping your student regain emotional stability.  You may also be in a good position to assist your student in accessing campus and community resources so that appropriate interventions can occur.
